Announcing Tux Paint 0.9.16

New Breed Software Releases Update to Award-Winning Open Source Art
Software for Children

(Mountain View, CA — October 21, 2006)
Today, New Breed Software announces
the release of Tux Paint 0.9.16, the latest
version of the award-winning Open Source drawing program
for children.

Tux Paint 0.9.16 debuts exciting new features alongside a number of
improvements to old favorites. A new simple-to-use Slideshow feature
allows you to select your favorite works of art and play them back
at various speeds. Slideshow will help teachers and students create
classroom presentations, and can even be used to make simple flip-book
style animations.

A new animated, directional brush

Tux Paint's paintbrush tool premieres two new additions. A brand new
animated brush feature cycles through a sequence of images, covering your
canvas in a trail of footprints or skittering squirrels. Also, new
directional brushes which change shape depending on which direction you
draw, allow for more natural-looking strokes.

Version 0.9.16 also boasts a number of minor improvements over previous
Tux Paint releases, including stereo sound effects, round erasers,
improved "magic" tools, new "Starter" images, improved international
character support in the "Text" tool, expanded user documentation, the
option to create alternative color palettes, and numerous bug fixes.
Developers will also enjoy improved code modularity and portability.

Thanks to its global community of developers, Tux Paint 0.9.16 includes
translations into Arabic, Faroese, Gujarati, Scottish Gaelic, Ndebele, Tagalog,
Tibetan, Venda, Xhosa and South African English, bringing the total number
of supported languages to 69.
